Funding

The Occupational Therapist will assess the ability to perform tasks in the daily living and working environment, and identify the needs and the risk if the assistive tools are not approved.

They will advise whether there is a requirement for aids and adaptations to the home environment and help you with speech and communication challenges. For more details read Getting an Assessment. Funding in the UK is sometimes limited and the process is not always as fast as hoped for.

Once the assessment is made, funding may come from the NHS, or may have to come from Charities, Student Allowance or Access to Work schemes. There is also a possbility to buy assistive tools privately.
